Each of the 4 coasts has beaches of different types ranging from the soft and sandy beaches of the west coast to the wild and rough waters of the east coast.

Facts about Barbados World Facts Index The island was uninhabited when first settled by the British in 1627. Slaves worked the sugar plantations established on the island until 1834 when slavery was abolished. The economy remained heavily dependent on sugar, rum, and molasses production through most of the 20th century. The gradual introduction of social and political reforms in the 1940s and 1950s led to complete independence from the UK in 1966. In the 1990s, tourism and manufacturing surpassed the sugar industry in economic importance.

Jamaica: The Press, University of the West Indies; and Gainesville: University Press of Florida, 1997. The organization of the book into seven chapters is unconventional, since it neither follows a historical trajectory nor frames its topical treatments in regional comparisons. Yet it works, with the first two chapters setting the historical stage and Chapters 2 and 7 (the last chapter) each detailing the changing historical situations on the islands, establishing the Colonial Office's stances, noting the planters' views, and recording the changes in the plantation landscapes and economies. The four chapters in between are each organized around an environmental theme: Chapter 3 deals with "The Climate," Chapter 4 with "The Waters," Chapter 5 with "The Lowlands," and Chapter 6 rounds out the quartet with "The Highlands." Each chapter stands alone, though there's enough overlap and intersection of confirmatory ideas that they do not contradict each other; rather, the effect is additive.

Probably first visited by the Portuguese, the island was settled by the British in the early 1600s, became a separate colony in 1885, and gained full independence in 1966.

Bar·ba di·an Encyclopedia Barbados b¤rbā dà z ) , island state (1995 est. pop. 256,000), 166 sq mi (430 sq km), in the West Indies. The capital and largest city is Bridgetown Land, People, and Economy The island, E of St. Vincent, in the Windward Islands, is the easternmost of the Caribbean islands. It is low and rises gradually toward its highest point at Mt. Hillaby (1,104 ft/336 m). Although there is ample rainfall from June to December, there are no rivers, and water must be pumped from subterranean caverns. More than three quarters of the population is of African descent, and about 15% are of mixed African and European descent. English-speaking, most Barbadians are Protestant. The porous soil and moderate warmth are excellent for the cultivation of sugarcane, which was historically the island's main occupation. Today, sugar and molasses remain important products and are the country's largest exports. The healthful and equable climate makes it a very popular tourist resort and tourism is the country's largest industry. Manufacturing (largely chemicals, electrical components, clothing, rum, and machinery) and banking are growing sectors of the economy.
